Eddy sometimes spoke very firmly to her older students when she felt led to do so in prayer and saw a need for them to understand something they seemed to be missing. The previous morning Irving C. Tomlinson, his sister Mary E. Tomlinson, the Bakers, Lemuel Pope, and one or two others were called by Mary Baker Eddy to Pleasant View. After completing her business with them, Eddy withdrew but returned shortly after, ordering Frye and Clara M. Sainsbury Shannon, who served in Eddy's household, to confess their shortcomings to the group, and she spoke severely to them about the state of their thinking. when I justified myself and alluded to Mrs. Eddy as mistakeing.

I also know it was for this same reason that she spoke so sharply to us all yesterday morning. I confess with shame my sin of giving her occasion for these most unpleasant tasks.

Surely with my many years of experience I should have long ago risen above all these things and have been a support and not a hinderance to her.
